Biography
Nur Misuari was born on 3 March 1939 in Tapul, Sulu, Philippines to a family of Sunni Muslim Moros. While a medicine and law student, he founded a radical student organization, and he helped in the formation of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) to achieve the independence of the autonomous Bangsamoro region. In 1996, he made peace with the government and became the governor of Bangsamoro, but he led another failed uprising, leading to more unrest. The MNLF, unlike the MILF, did not have peace talks with the government in 2014, and their insurgency continued.
